Rules
- Time to play your turn is 24h. The Admin may grant a 24h extension if needed ONLY If you ask for them. If you are late you will be skipped. After 24 hs with no response you will be skipped.You can come back and upload your turn but ONLY If the next player hasn't played his turn by then. It is adviced to get a subber, this subber may be from both inside or outside the game. He can know your PW and plans so he can sub you if you cant make it.
- No exploits/bugs allowed. F.e. movement bug, naval attack spam, merchant stack/fort, agent stomping, surrounding armies/navies to deny retreat, etc
- It is however allowed to spread plague.
- List of known bugs
Spam siege bug: Besieging a fort or a settlement with a force far superior in it, in order to either prevent that army from reinforcing or in order to cut down a settlements income is not allowed.
Heroic victory bug: No Heroic victories at all. If you get a heroic victory you must reload until you get a different result, and if you cannot get a different result then you will not be allowed to play the battle.
Ambush fort bug: No luring men in ambush position into ZoC of forts\settlement's as such robbing them of their movement points.
Siege reinforcement bug: when the army is adjacent to a fort or a settlements that has been put under siege it cannot reinforce armies adjacent to him which he should have been able to reinforce on normal occasions. Attacking an army which the siege reinforcements bug applies to is not allowed
Yoyo armies\forts bug: no attacking an army which the bug has been used on multiple times. You can see when this bug occurs, as the enemy army enters the fort and then leaves it.
Diplomacy and AI rules
- There can be only one winner, however the diplomacy is allowed
- If your deals are posted in the thread, they will be binding. So for example if you post that you and your ally will have NAP (non attacking pact) for 10 turns, you cant break it. Or if you announce an alliance, it can be abandonded only if you poost that at least a turn in advance, that you abandon it.
- You are allowed to make an alliance to an european faction, including ONLY trade rights, map information or military access. No money or regions demands. Only one native american faction can be allied to an european faction in the same time. If the european faction is already allied to other native american faction, you are not allowed to do any diplomacy. So if for example you are at war with such european faction, you are not allowed to sign ceasefire with them.
Military rules
-No one turn peace. However you cant attack factions that havent played their turn yet.
- No Warpath or anything crusade-like allowed.
- All battles against other player must be autoresolved. Screenshots must be posted with: odds and result screens, mouse over the odds bar to show the ratio, the armies involved with their banners visible on the campaign map, unit card of siege unit must be visible if used to directly assault settlement.
- Battles against AI/rebels can be played manually
- Armies that are defeated in battle by a player that comes after them in the turn list may not move the following turn. This is to make it fair for people who are defeated by players that come before them in the turn list.Armies standing in fortifications (fort/settlement) when defeated are excluded from this rule.
- You are not allowed to intentioanally loose a battle on your turn.
- You are not allowed to construct watch towers. This is to prevent blocking the possible construction of forts.
-Not allowed to besiege a settlement/fort to deny its garrison participation in battle.
- You are not allowed to besiege a settlement to deny enemy retreat into it.
- You are not allowed to lure an ambushing army a tile further to bring it in range of more of your forces.

Agent rules
- Spies are not allowed to open Gates on players, unless there is at least 60% (for capitals its 80%) chance of entering into the settlement. If a spy was has been in city for several turns, you will have to leave the settlement and enter it again. If inside the settlement is at least 1800+ soldiers (1200+ for capitals ), than a spy may not open the gates anyway. Screenshots must be provided. Capitals can be moved.
- Assassins cannot sabotage and are not allowed to kill family members or generals. Assassins need at least 60% chance to kill other agents, for enemy assassins/spies just 30% is required. Screenshots must be provided
- Bribed units/agents cant move for one turn.
